I can't find any reliable sources that show notability.

Delete Agreed. This isn't some old program that has been around and is "obviously" notable either. Newer program, not notable.

Probably isn't good enough. It's not confirmed. Even if it was the leading free software web IM client, it does not show notability unless the software has significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

There are similar JWChat articles for other major XMPP servers.
There's a list of jabber clients at
http://www.jabber.org/web/Clients many of which have pages here. JWChat is at least as significant as some of those included.
JWChat is notable because it's an impressive programming feat. It's quite unusual for a program of this sophistication to be independent of the webserver.
I've added more content to the article and would appreciate feedback.

I moved a lot of that content into the lead section to make a stronger claim of notability. You really need to work in a couple of citations from newspapers/websites (reliable ones) that are talking ABOUT it, not just mentioning it. Then I would be happy. Can't speak for others. The problem I had was that I looked and didn't find any.

Delete - per nom and per lack of notability. Newer software

Keep - notability established
the usual way. No need to make a special exception in this case.

Keep: Having never heard of this, I did some reading and then sourcing the article. I believe it passes notability. Lawshoot! 22:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)reply
